Zonoid trimming for multivariate distributions
多元分布的 Zonoid 修剪
A family of trimmed regions is introduced for a probability distribution in Euclidean d-space. The regions decrease with their parameter $\alpha$, from the closed convex hull of support (at $\alpha = 0$) to the expectation vector (at $\alpha = 1$). The family determines the underlying distribution uniquely. For every $\alpha$ the region is affine equivariant and continuous with respect to weak convergence of distributions. The behavior under mixture and dilation is studied.…
